Development-caused forced displacement and resettlement (DFDR) is a
critical problem on the international development agenda. The
frequency of forced displacements is rapidly increasing, the sheer
numbers of uprooted and impoverished people reveal fast
accelerating trends, whilst government reporting remains poor and
misleading. Challenging the Prevailing Paradigm of Displacement and
Resettlement analyzes widespread impoverishment outcomes, risks to
human rights, and other adverse impacts of displacement; it
documents under-compensation of expropriated people, critiques cost
externalization on resettlers, and points a laser light on the
absence of protective, robust, and binding legal frameworks in the
overwhelming majority of developing countries. In response, this
book proposes constructive solutions to improve quality and measure
the outcomes of forced resettlement, prevent the mass-manufacturing
of new poverty, promote social justice, and respect human rights.
It also advocates for the reparation of bad legacies left behind by
failed resettlement. It brings together prominent scholars and
practitioners from several countries who argue that states,
development agencies, and private sector corporations which trigger
displacements must adopt a "resettlement with development"
paradigm. Towards this end, the book's co-authors translate cutting
edge research into legal, economic, financial, policy, and
pragmatic operational recommendations. An inspiring and compelling
guide to the field, Challenging the Prevailing Paradigm of
Displacement and Resettlement will be of interest to university
faculty, government officials, private corporations, researchers,
and students in anthropology, economics, sociology, law, political
science, human geography, and international development.
